7
Och jag hörde på mannen som var klädd i linnekläder, och som stod ovanför flodens vatten, och han lyfte sin högra hand och sin vänstra hand upp mot himmelen och svor vid honom som lever evinnerligen att efter en tid, och tider, och en halv tid, och när det heliga folkets makt hade blivit krossad i grund, då skulle allt detta varda fullbordat.
62. By Means of the Literal Meaning of the Word We Unite with the Lord and Form a Companionship with Angels
THE reason we have union with the Lord through the Word is that the Word is entirely about him; and it is because of this that the Lord is its entire content and is called “the Word” [John 1:14], as was explained in Teachings on the Lord [1-2]. The reason the union takes place in the literal meaning is that this is where the Word is in its fullness, holiness, and power, as was explained previously under the appropriate heading [§§37-49]. This union is not something we can see, but it lies within our longing for what is true and our higher perception of it, so it lies within our inner love for and faith in divine truth.
